I had no idea that this is the way European soccer works.
For when you look at the business of professional sports — in both Europe and the United States — American sports are virtually all socialistic while the European soccer leagues more closely resemble the entrepreneurial capitalism we Americans fetishize.
…Every year, the worst-performing teams—three in England, four in Italy—check out. Relegated, they must play the following year in the next-lower division. Meanwhile, ambitious upstarts who have succeeded at lower levels check in. They are promoted.
Not like the European way will ever happen here, but it sure would be interesting to see.
